Head To Toe Beauty Tips

Here you go....

Freeze Your Eyeliner

Leaving your eyeliner in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to applying your makeup should help glide along your lash line seamlessly after that.

Shave With Conditioner

Out of shaving cream? Use conditioner instead of soap. Conditioner will soften the hair on your legs making it easier to shave (and it will leave your skin feeling extra silky).

Rinse Hair With Beer Or Vinegar

Rinsing your hair with beer helps restore moisture to your locks while using vinegar will leave it shining.  Soak your hair in either liquid (not at the same time) for a few minutes, then rinse with cold water.

Turn Up The Heat

For curlier, flirtier lashes, heat up your lash curler with a hair dryer for five to eight seconds before curling them. Be careful though, so you don’t injure yourself.

Use Ice Cubes To Keep Fat, Acne and Wrinkles At Bay

Massaging an ice cube over your face until it melts. Do it every night before bed and keep fat cells, acne and wrinkles under control. I remember watching one program on E Entertainment where one presenter was analyzing some celebrity’s beauty routine. She said one celebrity takes off her makeup by deeping her face in bowl of ice cubes, she actually tried it and it worked (I was like whattttt).

Make Your Manicure Last

Before applying nail polish, wipe nails with an acetone-based cleanser.  Cleaning excess dirt, oil or moisturizer from your nails will ensure that the polish adheres properly.

Soothe Your Stomach.. And Your Face

Apparently Pepto-Bismol isn't just a stomach soother; it can also be used as a facial mask. It contains bismuth subsalicylate, which is commonly found in facial creams. Spread two teaspoons of Pepto-Bismol on your face, then let it dry for 15 to 30 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water

Apply Sunscreen Daily

Wear sunscreen every day, rain or shine, even when it's cloudy. According to research, 80 per cent of the sun's ultraviolet rays pass through the clouds.

Countouring Creates Dimension

The trick to achieving a chiseled celebrity-like face is to contour. Your face is three dimensional so applying foundation in a single tone will only make your face appear flat. Add a highlighter to areas of your face that would usually catch light but create enough shadow to emphasize your jaw line and cheekbones.

Say Goodbye To Makeup Sponges

Makeup sponges help you apply makeup, but not without a cost. They usually soak up more liquid foundation than what ends up on your face. The result? You're wasting foundation and constantly buying new sponges. The fix? Get a foundation brush. You waste less foundation and it allows for a more even and precise application than a sponge would.

Keep Misbehaving Brows In Check

Spritz an old toothbrush or a clean mascara wand with hairspray, then brush brows and style them as desired. Even the most hard to tame brows will fall in line with this trick.

Applying False Lashes

Adding extra eye fringe amps up the glam instantly. First, take your falsies and loosen them by gently flexing the eyelash band, then curl your natural lashes to make sure your falsies line up with your actual lash line. Apply glue on your falsies using a Q-tip. Using tweezers (or finger tips if you feel that gives you more control), place your falsies as close to your lash line as possible. Let your lashes dry for a minute before you add a coat of mascara

Create Fuller Lips

If you're tired of having thin, pursed puckers, extend your lip line using a neutral-toned lip liner. Then apply lipstick over top. Be careful though, don't extend your lip line too much.

Stop Your Hair Colour From Fading

If you've just had your hair dyed, the last thing you want is for the colour to fade. One sure way to prevent such a mishap from happening is to use a deep-conditioning treatment once a month. This will help lock in colour and has the added benefit of staving off dry and damaged locks.

Use A Flat Iron To Create Waves

Flat irons are amazing tools with multiple uses. Not only can you use it to straighten your hair, you can also create tight curls or soft romantic waves.

Microwave Lotion Into Luxury

Who doesn't love a spa day? If we could go every day, we probably would, but that would also put a dent in our wallets. A quick, easy and cheaper indulgence is to put your favourite lotion in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Make sure the oils in your lotion don't separate and that it isn't too hot. Apply it on to your skin and enjoy!

Know Your Shade

When choosing a foundation, test it on the skin near your jawline. And be sure to do it in natural light. This will ensure the foundation tone you choose for your face isn't too different from the natural shade of your neck.

Uses For Old Mascara Wands

Don't throw away your old mascara wand; it's still got a few uses left. Clean it and use it as a brow brush instead. You might even find it handy around the house, use it to unclog sinks or clean tough to reach areas in your home.

Perfume Basics

Don't douse yourself with perfume before you leave the house (you don't want to bombard other people's nostril with strong smells…lol). Just because you can't smell it doesn't mean other people won't be able to. Only spray or dab perfume on select spots like your knees, wrists, base of throat, and behind your earlobes.

Smile.. Lots

Yes…Smile! It's the most beautiful asset you have, so…wear it every day.
